The 5th Circuit continues to be a disgrace to jurisprudence and the rule of law.

And Trump et al helped make it happen.

Well, that's utterly alarming and frankly depressing.

Well, that's utterly alarming and frankly depressing.

It is an incredibly dangerous and nonsensical ruling.

Will other states now use this ruling as a basis to rule as invalid any ballots received after election day?

Will some go even further to invalidate any early or mail-in ballots?

Will SCOTUS even hear any appeal before election day?

And this is just one of MANY legal and systematic challenges to the election system.

There have been several instances of state law enforcement being engaged in ballot/registration fraud or vote intimidation in swing states just this past week, with most (if not all) of the instances either being connected to, or supposedly involving, republican-affiliated groups.

They are attacking the election process to completely delegitimise it, so that any outcome other than Trump winning can be cast as fraud (even when they are the ones committing, like most of the limited instances of fraud in the 2020 election) and challenged all the way up to SCOTUS.

Worth pointing out that the only 'lone wolf nut jobs ' to date have been trying to shoot trump

Apart from all the lone wolf nut jobs that Trump invited to get together in Washington to hang Mike Pence.

At what point do they stop becoming lone though? That sounds more like a mob.
